Wife brought these pieces up from the lake today we live on a long gone farm place from 100 years ago or longer. With the flooding and erosion over the last 20 years stuff pops up when the water goes down. Shoe soles, tractor parts, glassware and small hardware mostly. Did find a cool arrowhead once not sure if it was there naturally or left over from the farm stead.

The round piece I’d guess is a cap for something on a tractor oil filter or reservoir it’s very thick and heavy, the other part looks like it hangs with that T stud that goes in a slot then turns to lock in place. What the fit I have no clue.

I don’t know how big around that round thing is but it looks like the thing on the clamp that attaches a grinder to the edge of the table to me. They are typically 1/8” thick or a bit heavier. A couple inches wide.

The small piece fits the end of a wooden single tree off of a buggy.. The 'T' shaped part is where the tug attaches.

It’s about 6 inches in diameter it’s closer to 1/4 inch thick if that helps any.

The round piece reminds me of the washers on the dragline cable spools.
I've seen some near coal strip mines but the center hole would have to be 3/8 to a half inch thick.

Reminds me of a Coleman lantern top above the glass piece, it’s designed to fit over a cylinder of some kind but its way to heavy for that.

Different angles on both pieces the flip side of the round one and another angle on the smaller one.

The big round one looks like an oil filter cap off an 8N ford tractor.

The bottom piece is off a single tree tongue of a horse pulled implement. This piece hooks and locks into the harness that is fitted on the horse. Yes, the round cap is an oil filter canister top from an old tractor/car/truck.
